About
RGraph is a JavaScript charts library based on
HTML5 SVG and canvas. RGraph is mature (over 18 years
old) and has a wealth of features making it an ideal
choice to use for showing charts on your website.
Version 7.10 released
Version 7.10 (released in January 2026) is the
latest version of RGraph and contains various updates
to the code which you can see on
the changelog page. There's
also a big tidy up in terms of comments and a significant
change to the way that the internal code is referenced which
should lead to a performance improvement in effects and
animations.
New HTML datagrid
In the April 2025 (v6.21) release a new datagrid object
was added.
This makes it easy to add static or dynamic data
tables to your pages. It can be used whether you use the
canvas or SVG libraries or entirely standalone.
Download
Get the latest version of RGraph (version 7.10, 18th January 2026) from
the download page. You can read the changelog here. There's also older versions available,
minified files and links to cdnjs.com hosted libraries.
License
RGraph can be used for free under the GPL or if
that doesn't suit your situation there's an
inexpensive (£129) commercial license available.A non-filled Radar chart
Here's a Radar chart that happens to have two datasets. By default, Radar charts look a little different, with a fill color applied. This can be set to transparent though, as is the case here, giving us this style of appearance.
The labels are set to only be drawn on the north axis, the textSize has been increased to 16 and the top label (on the "north" axis) has been set to be blank as it would clash with the scale labels.
The axes on the chart have also been disabled.
This goes in the documents header:
<script src="RGraph.common.core.js"></script> <script src="RGraph.radar.js"></script>Put this where you want the chart to show up:
<div style="float: right">
<canvas id="cvs" width="500" height="400">[No canvas support]</canvas>
</div>
This is the code that generates the chart - it should be placed AFTER the canvas tag(s):
<script>
// Create and configure the Radar chart so that it's not filled and
// only has the labels on the north axis. The text size has been
// slightly increased.
new RGraph.Radar({
id: 'cvs',
data: [
[8,7,6,7,8,6],
[8,9,4,6,6,8]
],
options: {
backgroundCirclesPoly: true,
backgroundCirclesSpacing: 30,
colors: ['transparent'],
axesColor: 'transparent',
highlights: true,
colorsStroke: ['red', 'black'],
linewidth: 3,
labels: ['', 'Barry', 'Gary','Dave','Paul','Rich'],
labelsAxes: 'n',
textSize: 16,
responsive: [
{maxWidth: null, width: 500, height: 400,parentCss:{'float':'right', textAlign:'center'}},
{maxWidth: 700, width: 300, height: 300,parentCss:{'float':'none', textAlign:'center'}}
]
}
}).trace();
</script>
